Storhamar Hamar Head Coach Petter Thoresen: “A big Swiss club and amongst the elite in European hockey. We look forward to playing them in their beautiful arena!”

Eisbären Berlin Head Coach Éric Dubois: “Another very strong opponent from Switzerland. We are looking forward to playing in their great and historical rink. Davos are one of the biggest Swiss clubs with a huge tradition. Unlucky finalists of the National League season that just lost game 7 in overtime, they are a great team with skilled players. It will be huge task, but I am confident we will win this game.”

Bílí Tygři Liberec Head Coach Jiří Kudrna: “A highly traditional and quality Swiss club with vast experience competing across hockey-rich Europe. This game will be played on their home ice, which I am actually very happy about because Davos is a beautiful Alpine town and the host of the famous Spengler Cup. I believe there will be a thrilling atmosphere. For our team, this will be another highly motivating game.”

GKS Tychy Head Coach Pekka Tirkkonen: “Davos are a fast and good skating team with five players from last year’s national team.”

Skellefteå AIK Head Coach Daniel Hermansson: “Davos are a traditional club with an offensive style of play. It will be important for us to stay disciplined and manage their puck skills effectively.”

Rögle Ängelholm Head Coach Dan Tangnes: “Davos are a team I know well from my time in Switzerland. In many ways, they play a style of hockey that is similar to ours, so it will be an interesting match-up. They’re a very strong team and among the best in Europe.”
